Dear Hudson,
Five years have gone by since the day that you made me a
mom. You gave me a gift that no other
can. I still look at you each night while you are sleeping and see the same
sweet face I saw sleeping in my arms that first night in the hospital. I tear up each time I think about you turning
five. Five just seems like the beginning
of growing up. I can see the changes in
you already. You are beginning to
express your need for independence, space and your own opinion way more than
before. This makes me so proud even
though it hurts. I fear for the day that
you might not look at me like the one person who can do absolutely
anything. I try as hard as I can to not
push you to grow too fast I want you to take your time and enjoy the ride. You are only young once and trust me, it just
gets crazier the older you get…take your time sweet boy.
In the fall you will be starting Kindergarten, thankfully (for me) we
decided to keep you at your current school one more year before going to public
school. I’m pretty sure watching you
walk onto a big school campus would bring me to tears like I've never
been. You my dear are too sweet and
innocent for me to imagine on the playground with 12 years olds…even though I
know that is life and I survived it.
It’s all different when it's your own baby.
You my dear will forever be my baby. When
you read these letters someday I hope you look back with a smile and know I was
always your #1 fan. You are
amazing.
Much love,
Mommy
